"Don't you dare pretend anymore!"
The Fake Monk knew his junior brother well; he could tell at a glance that he was feigning unconsciousness.
After being slapped awake, the Fake Taoist looked around and asked, "Big Brother, have they left? They won't come back to bother me, will they?"
"Hmph, look at how useless you are. The moment something happens, you play dead. So what if they come back?!"
The Fake Taoist complained, "You have the nerve to talk about me? Didn't you also kneel down the moment something happened…?"
As expected of the Con Artists Duo, they immediately started blaming each other when trouble arose.
"Forget it, we're not making this money. So many peers are fine, but each one is more capable than the last."
The Fake Monk waved his hand, thinking that not all money could be earned, and even considered whether to change professions in the future.
He took the Fake Taoist and planned to leave the village, but unexpectedly, a fog rolled in not long after they started walking.
"Strange, why is there suddenly such a thick fog?"
The Fake Monk hugged his shoulders, even feeling that the temperature had dropped quite a bit.
Just as the two were about to leave the village, they suddenly saw a figure in front of them.
"Big Brother, we haven't run into another peers, have we? How many people did these villagers invite?" The Fake Taoist looked shocked.
The Fake Monk pulled a pair of glasses from his pocket, pushed them up, and said, "This person doesn't look like a peers. He's a bit sneaky."
"Could it be someone we used to work with?" The Fake Taoist was even more surprised.
"Although we used to be thieves, he's even sneakier than us, so he's definitely not someone we used to work with."
"Then who is it…?"
"Hmph!"
After the Fake Monk snorted, "There's only one truth to this matter. This person must be a tomb raider!"
"I knew The Tomb Raider's Notes was real!"
The two of them went back and forth, sounding exactly like a crosstalk performance.
And when the figure in the thick fog saw the two of them, he immediately turned his head.
In the dark night, amidst the fog, only a pair of faint eyes could be seen; nothing else was clear.
And when this figure discovered the two, he quickly rushed over.
This scared the two of them into immediately turning around and running.
"Big Brother, why are you running?!"
"Does that even need to be said? I miscalculated. This kid isn't here to raid tombs, he's here to rob us!"
"But Big Brother, why do I feel like he has no legs or feet?"
The Fake Monk looked back and found that this person really seemed to be floating in mid-air, scaring sweat beads onto his bald head.
"Damn, that's even more sinister, run!"
They could no longer tell which direction they were running in, only that they had to get away from this very strange guy.
"Sister Hu Tao, there really is a Monk and a Taoist over there!"
Klee pointed into the distance, reminding Hu Tao.
Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes lit up: "Wow, I just said that casually, I didn't expect these two guys to actually be here!"
Seeing Hu Tao leading Klee to chase after them, Bennett wondered, "Could it be that Hu Tao was lying to me at first, and she had never seen a Monk or a Taoist at all…?"
And Itto and Kaveh, who were still arguing, also saw the two figures.
"Wow, these are a Monk and a Taoist! I've never seen them before!"
Itto immediately chased after them, wanting to see what was different about the Monks and Taoists on Blue Star, and if they really knew Buddhist and Taoist magic.
"Lady Kokomi, it's those two people from earlier. They don't seem to be outdoor streamers." Gorou also saw the two.
Kokomi murmured, "It seems I guessed wrong. These look like a Monk and a Taoist. They should also be here to help the villagers, right? Let's go and see."
The two ran all the way, and ended up running back to Xavier's side.
"You two old geezers actually dare to come back? I think you're asking for a beating, aren't you?!"
Xavier was furious, raising his fist to hit them.
Who knew that before the two even got close, they started sliding on their knees.
They slid several meters, all the way to Lin Yuan's feet, not even afraid of ruining their knees.
"Little brother, please save us! We're being targeted!"
"Big Brother, you said it wrong! That's not a person at all, he's floating!"
"That's right, little brother, we're being targeted by a ghost!"
Xavier was confused: "A ghost?"
He really couldn't understand what these two tricksters were up to. Were they trying a new trick?
Just as Xavier was about to ask, he saw the 'ghost' the two were talking about.
He floated slowly out of the mist, as if he had no body.
At this moment, the other people, hearing the commotion, also rushed over.
"What?! There really is a ghost!"
When Chongyun saw the ghost, he was incredibly excited, as if no one else had seen a ghost.
It was the first time he had seen a ghost in his life!
"What should we do, what should we do? I knew there would be ghosts! Let's run!"
Furina clutched Xavier's coattails tightly. She was indeed the national-level retreat artist.
Compared to Furina's fear, Hu Tao was extremely excited.
"Oh my, oh my! I didn't expect to actually encounter one! Let the Hall Master see what it looks like!"
Hu Tao was about to rush over, but was stopped by Shenhe.
"That's not a ghost."
Bennett wondered, "If it's not a ghost, what is it? Is it a monster?"
"Idiot, Shenhe means it's a person!" Fischl was smarter.
"It's a person?"
Everyone was somewhat taken aback by this answer.
This also made Chongyun feel very disappointed: "I knew it. It's definitely not that easy to encounter ghosts or monsters. Everything is fake…"
He thought he would encounter them in the old castle before, but it turned out to be nothing.
He thought he would definitely encounter them today, but it still turned out to be fake.
Shenhe slowly spoke again: "Not everything is fake. At least the Feng Shui that was set up is real."
Chongyun thought about it, yes, this thing was real, he had sensed it himself, and he had also found those talisman.
Xavier suddenly realized: "Shenhe, do you mean that this person set up the Feng Shui and is also pretending to be a ghost here?"
Compared to demons and ghosts, Feng Shui is an objectively existing thing.
Perhaps some people believe it excessively, while others don't believe it at all.
But from a scientific perspective, Feng Shui is the final influence caused by the combination of various things, it just has very profound knowledge.
Just like health preservation is breathing exercises, and cultivation in legends is also breathing exercises; the difference is too great.
Xavier had seen people analyze it online before, and what they said made a lot of sense.
"You should leave. This is not a place you should be."
Even facing such a large group of people, the mysterious figure still spoke first.
After Furina knew it was a person, she bravely said, "Hey, since you're a person, why are you pretending to be a ghost? You're the one who should leave!"
